OUR MISSION
Is to redefine community care, and to create a space where the ancient wisdom of true healing comes to life.
So often we hear about self-care, and all of us know that we could be taking better care of ourselves, but in our modern world where we are each holding so much individually, real self-care becomes nearly impossible.
In traditional cultures, child care, elder care, gardening, home-making, seasonal work and ritual, and so much more is held by the community, which makes space for what we are nowadays calling “self-care.”
Alquimia is dedicated to restoring community connections in such a way as to facilitate a greater opportunity for the health and wellbeing of the individual as part of a healthy, thriving community.
